Sheriff: Derek, since you're dating my son I think it's time we have the shotgun talk.

Derek: Don't you mean the shovel talk?

Sheriff (loading his shotgun): I know what I said, son.

The one where Barista Stiles propositions Alpha Derek to be the nanny for his kids, especially since Derek went through so many candidates that Stiles thought there weren’t any more for him to interview.

“Hey,” Stiles said carefully, smiling when those eyes he wanted to lose himself in looked up at him.

“I figured you needed a pick me up after that last one.” He handed him the cup and when Mr. Honey-Almondmilk-Flat-White-with-Whipcream took the drink, Stiles sat across from him in the cushy chair he usually took his break in.

The dude sniffed it and then took a sip. “You know my order…”

“Well, yeah. You’ve been ordering it for like, the last week when you’ve been in here.” Stiles smiled and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “I’m Stiles.”

“I’m comfortable with my life,” Stiles told Lydia, and he was. He had a job he loved, his pack was safe, and he got to see them regularly. Yeah, there was one thing he would like to change, but there's only so much he can do to change that one thing. Stiles was pretty sure that dating other people wouldn’t help. Or Stiles agrees to let Lydia set him up on a blind date, not realizing who exactly she had in mind.

AN: I realized I never made a full on tumblr post with this..oops!

This was written For L_Grae with the prompts: ~Mutual pining with meddling from the pack. ~Future fic, blind date set up by certain packmates, not realizing Sterek has a FWB agreement already.

Unfortunately, I can't quite write friends with benefits (I gave it a valiant effort, but my brain just couldn't get it right), so I merged the prompts together.

Sterek Valentine's Bingo 2024: Candle

~*~*~*~

Locking the office up with a whistle, Stiles tossed his keys in the air before catching them and shoving them in his back pocket before he turned to walk down the street to the combination coffee and bar that sat a block or so away from his office. He mentally patted himself on the back for that smooth move before abruptly tripping on nothing. Stiles looked around quickly. No one saw that.

That was the one good thing about it getting dark before Stiles even leaves the office at this time. The whole shorter days thing that came with winter coming AND Daylight Savings Time ending at the same time does get somewhat depressing at times, but it’s not like Stiles has never gone around town at night before.

Back in high school, nights were the only times that Stiles could really investigate supernatural happenings what with needing to actually go to school. He always did love a good puzzle to investigate and even contemplated  joining the FBI. However, after botching up his own internship with the FBI, Stiles ended up going to college at Beacon Hills Community College. While still in school, Stiles started a side hustle as a Supernatural Private Investigator, and, upon graduation, he was able to devote his time to his growing business, even opening an office in the slowly reemerging downtown area of Beacon Hills.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the local Beacon County packs, the Nemeton was growing healthily again, bringing positive energies with it, something even the everyday humans could feel. Because of this, more people, both supernatural and human, were moving to town and slowly building up the local economy.

Just the short walk between Stiles’ office and Lunar Lounge, his favorite bar and coffee shop, included a boutique one of Stiles’ old classmates opened, a vegan smoothie shop, owned by a nice family of elves that just moved here a few years back, and a greenhouse bookstore whose owners were always more than happy to provide Stiles with any herbs he needed for potions work after he helped them with a pixie infestation that took residence in one of their personal gardens at their house.

The Lunar Lounge was where many of the Hale pack worked. Open practically 24 hours, it served coffee and breakfast for the morning crowd before transitioning into a pub style bar in the afternoons. In addition to providing human beverages, Lunar Lounge also offered a variety of specialty drinks for the different supernaturals of Beacon Hills, including but not limited to wolfsbane infused homebrews, real bloody marys, and a selection of shimmering, almost ethereal, wines that Peter had procured a vendor for that Stiles was pretty sure was fae, but the wolf refused to confirm or deny that suspicion.

Entering the open double doors, Stiles nodded at Isaac who was behind the bar preparing some fancy pink and yellow monstrosity of a cocktail that was most definitely too sweet for Stiles’ liking.

He crossed the open sea of scuffed wooden tables, dodging a pair of colorful haired women that suddenly blocked his path as they stood up to go who knows where. Reaching the back corner, he found Derek at his usual table that he’d probably been sitting at for the last several hours, hidden from most by a black metal staircase that led to a lofted lounge area. Dark eyebrows furrowed as Derek continued to type on his laptop.

As Stiles plopped down in the seat across from him, Derek glanced up before he said, “I’m almost done. Give me a minute.”

Stiles grinned, “You’re good.” Derek smiled before turning his attention back to the screen.

Since reveals are now up for @stereksecretsanta, I can finally share this Sterek art piece I got to make for GoNEF! You can also view Put My Mind at Ease on AO3. This is one of the few occasions where I opted in for a 3/4 or full body piece, and I went for something different from the usual cuddling/snuggling. Derek and Stiles might not be spooned against each other, but they’re still touching. I mean, Stiles has his fingers caressing Derek’s hair, and Derek has a gentle hand around Stiles’ wrist. And hello...their legs are entangled together, okay?!!  I went for soft intimacy here, and I am totally not sorry. The muted grey/navy color palette worked to give off nighttime and winter feels. Since I went off of the prompt of Derek and Stiles as mates, I zoned in on soulmates and soulbonds (because yeah, I’m a sucker for that trope. ;D). I had so much fun drawing this up and being part of this exchange. Make sure you check out the rest of the Sterek goodness from this year’s masterlist. Happy holidays, y’all!

Stupid Over You (10461 words) by Wolfspurr

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Sheriff Stilinski, Talia Hale, Laura Hale, Cora Hale, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - High School, Alternate Universe - No Hale Fire (Teen Wolf), The Hale Family, Meet the Family, Family Dinners, Oblivious Derek, Oblivious Stiles Stilinski, Popular Derek Hale, Mutual Pining, Scott McCall & Stiles Stilinski Friendship, Derek Hale Bakes, Derek Hale is Bad at Feelings, Fluff and Humor, Making Out, First Kiss, First Dates, Getting Together, House Party

Summary: It's a Friday night, and instead of enjoying any of the numerous things he'd rather be doing, Stiles has been roped into dinner with his Dad at the Hale's. On the plus side, Derek Hale will be there. On the minus side, Derek Hale will be there, and Stiles already has a hard enough time not making an ass of himself in front of the hottest guy in school. There's no way this can end well.

Excerpt: “Remind me again why we have to go to the Hale’s for dinner?” It’s a Friday night, and by all rights Stiles should be out at a party, or on a hot date, or, more realistically, sat at home knee deep in cheetos playing video games with Scott. Instead, he’s sat in the passenger seat of his Dad’s cruiser, surreptitiously trying to undo the top few buttons of his shirt without his Dad noticing.

“Because Talia Hale very kindly invited us over to thank me for sorting out that business with those hunters in the preserve, and it would’ve been rude to say no,” his Dad reaches out to swat at his hand. “Stop that. I let you wear flannel instead of a proper shirt and tie, the least you can do is keep the damn thing buttoned up.”

“Yes, but why do I have to come? I might’ve had plans!” Stiles huffs and starts fiddling with his cuffs instead.

“Because the invitation was for both of us and you know full well that your only plans were playing games and gorging yourself on junk food with Scott, just like every other night,” his dad flicks the indicator, turning onto the track that leads into the preserve. “You never know, it might be fun. One of the Hale kids is in your year right? Cora? And one of the boys is on the lacrosse team with you. You’ll have people to talk to.”

“If they’re even there. I’m pretty sure the captain of the lacrosse team has better things to do on a Friday night than stay home for family dinner with the local law enforcement and his dweeb son,” Stiles grumbles, rolling up his shirtsleeves. “And even if they are there, the most interaction I’ve ever had with Cora is her looking at me like she wants to disembowel me with a rusty spoon for daring to exist in her vicinity. And Derek’s a senior. And popular. I’m a benchwarmer with a grand total of one friend. We don’t really run in the same crowds.”

“Well then, maybe tonight will be a good chance to get to know them better,” his Dad gives an exasperated sigh but doesn’t mention the sleeves, so Stiles gives his top couple of buttons another go. “And if not you’ll just have to talk to the adults. Or sit there in polite silence and enjoy your food; it’s not like you’re getting out of it now.”

while everyone is sad and in need of non-terrible sterek content, here's a minor headcanon I'm probably never going to get around to using in anything:

derek is a massive halo nerd, but hates all video games basically universally. he picked up one of the novels because he knows stiles likes the games, and he wanted to be able to contribute during stiles's periodic gamer info-dumps, but then got weirdly invested in the lore and now knows way more about the universe than any reasonable person should

stiles thinks this is adorable, obviously, but also hilarious, and spends a lot of times scheming ways to trick their friends into accidentally saying something that will activate derek's halo-heresy senses and trigger an angry rant. his crowning achievement was getting scott to read the drill 'masterchief's suit jacks him off' tweet out loud verbatim in derek's presence. neither of them have forgiven him for it, and he does not care because it was the funniest shit he's ever seen.

he's also started leaving 40k novels lying around derek's apartment. to date he has not taken the bait, but they both know it's only a matter of time before he caves.

"Derek had had his doubts when Cora first suggested their family play host to a foreign exchange student from Poland, but it wasn’t until the kid arrived that Derek really began to resent the entire program.

Sure, Stiles Stilinski cleans up after himself – never not a perfect gentleman around the house – and gets straight A’s while still somehow managing to make friends insanely fast. But he's also cocky and sarcastic; quick witted in a way that can tangle Derek into a neat, flustered little bow with only a few choice quips.

The worst part is that English isn’t even Stiles’ native tongue, and he still manages to be better with it than Derek. Bested at his own damn language."

hi mindofmim, it is I, your secret santa once again (it's weird not having a name to call you by, what's your preferred name?). How's your day going? I hope it's going well or that it improves if it's sort of meh.

I read the fic you recommended and let me tell you, I might've made non-human sounds as I read because it was so good. I just- I was delighted by how intimate the fic felt when the premise of it all was pretty simple. Thank you for that rec, it's definitely going into my bookmarks. Do you have any more where that came from? I was checking Isthatbloodonhisshirt but you were not lying when you said those fics were long, damn.

anyway, my original purpose today was asking if you have any special requests for Santa this year (it me, I'm talking about any requests for this santa lmao). I saw what you liked but there's so much that can fit in 'Holiday' or 'Low Stakes' or 'Pining' that I'd love to know where you stand on those. As a fan of pining myself, I already have an inkling of an idea, but prompts wouldn't hurt either.

anyway, I got distracted and this got long, have a good day/night, sweet sterek dreams

-au revoir your (not actually french) Secret Santa

Good Day Secret Santa!

You're asks never fail to make me smile! You can call me Mim ^_^ I had the most boring day but got lots of writing done so at least it was good for something today.

I'm so glad you liked my rec! I wish I had more like Can I...?, after all the heavy consent and touch adverse/touch starved thing is extremely dear to my heart (I might be a bit like Derek in that fic). But I do have a few other short fics I have enjoyed so I'll give you those instead;

Error 404: Brain cell not found by fairytalesandfolklore (a bit of a crack fic but made me smile so big)

Today by Evansdust (meet as kids this fic is just fluff and fun and has pumpkins and a deaf Derek, it was just so sweet)

(Isthatbloodonhisshirt is totally worth the hours spent reading their fics tho, if you ever want to make the commitment)

Special requests, hmm... I put low stakes because I wanted more soft fics to read. Ones that didn't have anything complicated like fighting witches or people being kidnapped or someone having to save the world.

Holiday stories have such a warm fluffy edge, yet so much potential for misunderstanding and pinning.

(There is a sorta lengthy fic called Cornerstone by Vendelin where at one point they spend the holidays apart; texting and calling and realizing how much they just want to be together and it's so sweet).

I might spend to much time in December reading harlequin style romance books and watching the hallmark channel. (The December Bride is my favourite hallmark Christmas movie.)

I doubt any of that was specific enough, but truthfully I'm not sure how to be. There isn't anything concrete or specific that I really want.

If you have an inkling of an idea I fully encourage you to flush it out. I'm not that hard to please, in fact I have full faith I will love anything you create. I appreciate you so much and I can't wait to see what you produce.

Till next time!
